摘要
A mechanism behind the ionization-induced self-compression effect for ultrashort laser pulses propagating in gas-filled capillaries is proposed. It is shown that as a result of excitation of the nonlinear-plasma waveguide laser pulses producing gas ionization can be self-compressed to few-cycle duration. This effect is used for high-energy laser pulses and its scalability to J-level energies is demonstrated.
